There were six changes against Spurs, with all three substitutes coming on - a sign, says Allen, of Swansea's strength.

"We've got a squad full of talent and we knew that throughout the season there's going to be injury suspension. When the games come thick and fast, everyone's going to be needed, so I think it's great to perform like that when we've made changes to the team."

Speculation that Allen might be a target during the January transfer window has been played down by Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers.

"It's been a great challenge for me personally, a big step up and one that, as a team, we've made and full credit to ourselves, we are competing against some top world-class players and world-class teams.

"You can see how quickly teams go up the other end and create chances. One minute you can be in control and looking to score yourselves, and then 20 seconds later the ball can be in the back of the net... the pace and power they have can cause you trouble."
